This article is about Gold Ore. For the block, see Gold Block. For the ingot, see Gold Ingot. For the nugget, see Gold Nugget.
Gold ore is commonly found beside stone blocks deep underground, usually in a vein of 2-9 blocks (sometimes up to 18 if two veins happen to spawn together, and as few as 1 if the block that was supposed to be gold ore is occupied by a generated structure). It only appears in the bottom 32 layers of the map. From levels 2-29, gold ore's occurrence underground is at 0.1437%. On average there are 7.5 gold ores per chunk. It can be mined using an iron or diamond pickaxe. Gold ore can be smelted in a furnace to create Gold Ingots.

Gold ore was introduced in Classic 0.0.14a. It could be placed in Classic since version 0.28, but is still usable if found using the "Copy Block" tool. In Classic it could be found at much higher elevations, sometimes even at the surface and being even more frequent than any other ore besides diamond.
In Survival Test destroyed gold ore would drop gold blocks.

[edit] Trivia
- Gold Ore is the only ore that cannot be mined by a pickaxe of its own material. Shortly put, it cannot mine itself.
